Study Notes

Recurrent Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) and Hepatorenal Syndrome

Recurrent SBP is a risk factor for developing hepatorenal syndrome (HRS)
HRS is a life-threatening complication of advanced liver disease, defined by kidney failure without other known causes
Recurrent SBP can worsen renal function in patients with liver disease
Recurrent SBP contributes to HRS by inducing vasoconstriction, which reduces renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate
The main concern with recurrent SBP in liver disease patients is the increased risk of developing HRS and subsequent mortality
